David teaches Lee a lesson…
HE TEAMS UP WITH JOSH TO TEACH LEE A BRUTAL LESSON…
There’s a vicious attack on the cobbles this week, as David makes Billy’s brother Lee pay for once hurting Sarah.
Lee is back on the cobbles thanks to Billy’s descent into painkiller addiction, and David isn’t happy that the man who took his sister hostage is again roaming the neighbourhood. So he enlists the help of Josh – who is disturbingly enthusiastic about the chance to put the frighteners on Lee. But as the two men corner Lee in an abandoned garage, is David in over his head?
“While David has done plenty of sinister things in his time, this attack on Lee is quite different,” shares our Street snitch. “What happened between Lee and Sarah was quite a while ago, and it’s a grudge that really doesn’t need to be revisited. But David keeps getting egged on by Josh, who seems to relish the chance to inflict pain on defenceless Lee. It shows a pretty scary side to him.”
Before Lee’s brutal encounter with David, he’s back in Billy’s life after the strung-out vicar makes a desperate plea for help. Billy is going through agonising withdrawal from his painkiller medication, and the process is hell on earth. In a moment of madness, Billy calls Lee and begs him to meet up in a local cemetery so they can talk. And once there, Billy shocks Lee with an out-of-character request…
“When Billy returns from seeing Lee, he’s a changed man,” shares our insider. “He’s upbeat and chipper, a far cry from the sweaty, shaky patient he was earlier in the day. It’s hard to know what to think, and his friend Eileen is worried – she wants answers from
Billy. He insists that it simply became clear that his main focus has to be Summer, and he’s got his act together for her. But the words ring hollow.”
Sadly, the effect of what’s happened in their lives has rocked Summer to her core, and Billy is heartbroken to

discover she’s now bottom of her class at school. He knows he can’t afford to let things slide any further, and rings Lee to beg for more drugs – which is when Sarah spots her onetime kidnapper. She’s terrified, and rushes to tell David that Billy’s brother is back in town. Little does Sarah know that she’s set in motion a chain of events they’ll all live to regret…
Lee is blindsided as David and Josh bundle him into a van the next day, but he’s about to be taught a painful lesson. The situation gets out of hand fast, and even David is shaken by the way Josh torments their captive. Will Lee make it out of there alive – or will Billy face the next stage of his painkiller nightmare alone?
